Cam Lock for Wood Doors, Nickel, Master Key/Keyed Alike/Keyed Different

Cam Lock For Wood Doors For Secure Single Door Use

Cam lock for wood doors from Sugatsune America provides a dedicated locking point for single wood door applications, giving cabinetry and casework a defined locked position. This cam lock is classified under deadbolt locks, so it functions as a solid mechanical lock point in a wood door panel rather than a spring latch. The nickel finish on this cam lock presents a clean, neutral look that works across typical wood door projects where visible hardware matters. The reversible key on this model turns clockwise by 360 degrees to rotate the cam by 90 degrees, allowing the locking tongue to move cleanly between locked and unlocked positions in a predictable arc. The key can be removed in both locked and unlocked positions, which lets users leave the lock open for regular access or fully secured without leaving a key hanging.

Functional Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• This cam lock is specified for single door application, so it focuses the locking action on an individual wood door and keeps the locking motion simple for everyday operation.
• The reversible key turns clockwise by 360 degrees to move the cam 90 degrees, creating a clear, repeatable locking stroke that is easy for users to understand in regular use.
• The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, allowing the user to store keys separately while the door is either secured or left open for quick access.
• Keys can be shared with the Million Lock series, so installations already using that series can maintain one key profile across this cam lock and related locks.
• A Master Key system is available at surcharge with up to 2,520 key changes per Master Key, which supports tiered access setups where multiple unique keys still respond to a master.

Cam Lock Operation And Keying Setup On Wood Doors

This Sugatsune cam lock for wood doors uses a 360-degree clockwise key turn to drive a 90-degree cam rotation, so the locking movement is controlled and limited to a quarter turn at the cam. That motion allows the cam to engage or clear a strike area in the cabinet or casework, providing a straightforward locked or unlocked state without partial positions. The key can be removed in either state, so once the lock is turned to the desired position, the installer or user can take the key away, reducing key clutter at the door. This model is identified by manufacturer part number 1300SK-KA, tying the lock to a keyed configuration that supports keyed alike or coordinated systems described as keyed alike or keyed different in the product name.

Where This Sugatsune Cam Lock Fits And Matters

Single Wood Door Cam Lock For Focused Security

This cam lock is specified for single door application, so it is suited to individual wood doors where each door needs its own lock body and cam engagement. In cabinetry, casework, or wood door panels, having a deadbolt-class cam lock allows the door to close against a fixed strike area and then use the cam rotation to hold the door shut. Because this lock is part of the deadbolt locks product class, it serves as a positive mechanical catch rather than relying on a spring-loaded latch, which helps maintain a stable locked condition once the cam is rotated. The nickel description aligns with wood door projects where visible hardware needs a neutral metal tone that pairs with a range of hinge and pull finishes on the same door run.

Key Rotation, Sharing, And Master Key Planning

The reversible key on this cam lock turns clockwise by 360 degrees to rotate the cam by 90 degrees, giving a predictable, full-turn motion at the key while limiting the cam to a quarter turn for firm engagement. That relationship between key rotation and cam travel simplifies user training because one complete key turn always represents the shift between locked and unlocked. The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which means users can leave the door unlocked for a work period without a key hanging from the cylinder, then relock and remove the key when finished. This lock offers 1 million key changes, providing a very large range of unique key patterns for installations that demand numerous different key sets across projects. A Master Key system is available at surcharge with a maximum of 2,520 key changes per Master Key, allowing many individual keys to operate under a single master for controlled access hierarchies. Keys can be shared with the Million Lock series, which ties this cam lock into broader installations already using that series so a single key profile can open multiple lock types. The manufacturer part number 1300SK-KA identifies this specific keyed configuration, helping specifiers call out the correct cam lock when ordering or matching existing keyed alike or keyed different setups. The product name also references Master Key, keyed alike, and keyed different, signaling that this lock family supports different keying patterns suited to both shared and unique access needs.
